  1. Yep, I've taken the pick guard and truss rod cover off, I put a bone nut on. the only plastic on now, are the pickup mounting rings. My '93 H150 has a wood pick guard.
  2. I found the ground wire, it was behind one of the pickup cables. It's hard to tell where the wire lives in there exactly I did use a dryer sheet on the guitar and I could feel and hear the static electricity as I wiped the guitar down. It helped initially, but went back to it's evil ways eventually. When I have a spare 4 + hours of free time at the next string change, I may yank the guts out and reinstall everything(way easier said than done)
  3. I have not done a continuity check. I'll try that for sure. I have an inspection camera that I had a minute to check out yesterday. I saw both pickup cables resting on the back of the guitar. They are both covered in a fairly thick clear shrink tube. I wasn't able to find the ground wire with what time I had. I have more time today so I'm going to try to move the p.u. wires off the back and find the ground wire. It's like playing the game operation, working in/on these things
  4. I've played bare footed to playing in my insulated kenetrek mountain boots and it scratches regardless. I do have a carpet down. Maybe the carpet? Luckily?, I only hear it when not playing.
  5. I didn't think of static electricity! that makes sense, I've tried looking inside with a mirror to locate the ground wire, but couldn't see much with the mirror I have. I had LED lighting on dimmer switches in our jam room and had to swap them out with old fashioned incandescent fixtures and simple switches to cut out the noise. The LED's and dimmer switches were horribly noisy. Huge difference now, we can play with the lights on I took the pickguard off the H535 and can't remember if it was noisy before I took it off???, sitting, it will occasionally make noise, not as much as standing does. Ive used dryer sheets to cut static in other things. I'll give it a shot on the guitar
  6. Hey All When I stand up and play my H535 I get this intermittent scratching sound, especially when bending over to adjust a pedal for example. It will make this sound if I move the guitar body across my torso as well. I have tried multiple cords new and old and get the same. I've put in a new jack, took out the controls to make sure I didn't have a funky solder joint and no change Could this be a bad ground from pots to tail piece possibly? Heritage had the forsight to heat shrink tube the p.u. wires from pick up to pots, the ground wire was not I don't really want to go through taking out the controls on the 535 again, it's a huge pain in the a$$ getting that put back together, especially if ham fisted and banger fingered! But, I'll do it to get rid of that annoyance Thanks
